CONNECTOR FOR FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT

摘要

An electrical connector includes elastic female contacts arranged in an insulating housing having opening, and a spring member obtained by V-bending an elastic sheet. A flexible printed circuit (FPC), which is attached to the V-bent outside surface of the spring member and having an exposed-conductor section to be electrically connected to a contact section of the female contact, is inserted with the spring member into the housing through the opening. The respective conductors of the FPC contact the corresponding female contacts under the spring elasticity of the spring member.
